Ning thought for a moment, what could such a decree even do? Then, his eyes went wide.
Alekor saw this and realized Ning understood this as well. "Since only the noblemen had the treaty with the Tower, they were the only ones who could become great in Aether arts and thus become the president."
"Essentially, bringing the government back to the nobles' hands," Alekor said.
"And you agree with this? The tower should have seen through this, right?" Ning asked.
"They did, of course," Alekor said. "But the peace the tower had fought for the last millennia with the treaty would be destroyed in seconds if they let the tower's information be known."
"When that news spread, the whole world would be in turmoil," Alekor said. Rachel was seething in anger next to Ning. Ning wondered why that was the case, and if she faced any problems in the Xandria empire, but now was not the time.
